Oh that Apple Pie Grandma used to make!
Grandma Susan and Christopher enjoy a fall morning in the warmth of her little kitchen. Christopher watches as grandma puts the finishing touches on the apple pie she has made for their dinner desert. Christopher waits impatiently not caring about the secret ingredients of three green granny smith apples and one golden delicious apple with plenty of cinnamon and a dash of nut meg.
The begin to talk about what its going to be like to eat the pie. She speaks of the smells of cinnamon, and apples baking. The flaky golden crust that melts in your mouth.
Christopher’s mouth waters. Grandma cuts the slashes into the top of the pie to vent the steam. Christopher hand her, her favorite pot holders and she slips the pie into the piping hot oven.
Hope they have the patients to wait the time it is going to bake and cool. Grandma was thinking of a story to pass the baking time. A story of racing horses and ladies in big beautiful hats. Christopher was very fidgety. “Go out to play in the crisp gall sunshine. I will call you in when the pie is ready.
Grandma washes her hand and wipes them on her apron skirt, pours herself a cup of tea and sits on the front porch watching Christopher play, as the smell of the cooling fresh baked pie wafts from the open kitchen window.
